Also, the latest version comes with the new thumb UI. These days we are seeing smartphones above 6-inches dimension which some may find difficult to use holding in the hand. Generally, we use fingers and thumbs to perform the touch-enabled action on our devices. With larger devices, the thumb may not reach the whole surface area of the device. Thus comfortable one-handed use gets minimized So, to deal with it Descendant now comes with Thumb UI.

You can find it in the Settings > Gestures. After you enable it, you can easily use all the features on your device’s display which is well within reach of your thumb. If you don’t get the idea, the have a look at this video.
